Websites for Leicester trades
Leicester has a dense mix of Victorian terraces, post-war housing and a large student rental sector, which keeps steady repair and refurbishment work flowing to local trades. A big share of Leicester work comes from landlords running multiple properties rather than one-off homeowners. Those customers rebook the same trade for years, so a site that establishes you are reliable and properly certified is worth far more than one that just lists services.
We build professional, mobile-first sites for trades and local service businesses across Leicester — nothing to pay upfront, live in about two weeks, and you own the site and domain outright. You see a free preview before you pay a penny.

Frequently asked questions
Does student and rental property work change what my website should say?
+
It changes what to lead with. Landlords and letting agents care about turnaround between tenancies, gas and electrical certification, and whether you can handle several properties at once — not the things a homeowner worries about. If that is the work you want, we put it on the services page in plain terms rather than burying it.
How do I get found by landlords rather than one-off homeowners?
+
By writing for what landlords actually search and worry about — certification, turnaround between tenancies, and whether you can handle several properties without dropping one. We put HMO and compliance work on the services page in plain terms, because a landlord searching 'HMO electrician Leicester' will not find you under a generic 'electrical services' heading.
How much does a website cost for a Leicester business?
+
Scale Start is £45 a month and Scale Up is £79 a month, with nothing to pay upfront. We are not VAT-registered, so there is no VAT to add — the price you see is the price you pay. Both plans run on a 12-month minimum term and then continue month to month.
How quickly can a Leicester business get a site live?
+
You get a free preview within 48 hours and the finished site is live within about two weeks. Nothing is charged before you have seen the preview and approved it.
Which areas around Leicester do you cover?
+
We build for businesses across Leicester and the surrounding area, including Loughborough, Hinckley, Wigston, Oadby and Melton Mowbray. The site and your Google Business Profile are set up for the areas you actually work in.
Do I own the website?
+
Yes — the domain, the site and the content are yours. The 12-month minimum term is what lets us build and manage the site with £0 upfront, and you see the full price and term before anything is built.
